Hi everybody,
I need help, I left my dog in a dog daycare for boarding for 10 days, very expensive place too. When I came back my dog was injured really bad it was a dog bite on his leg, they took $500 from me with no autorizathion and the next day I took my dog to his regular vet and I paid an additional $600 plus the boarding fee should I hire a lawyer, are they responsible for all the vet bills or like they said ACCIDENT IN THE DAYCARE HAPPEN? PLEASE HELP!

I have a black lab who gets over-anxious when I walk her at first. She always wants to pull me and ends up choking herself. I bought a harness so she wouldn't choke anymore but I would like for her to "walk-nice" with me. What equipment or techniques could I use to help her?

We have about a 5 month old border collie lab and she is a very good dog for the most part. She is potty trained, she knows many tricks, but one thing that I cannot stand is her going through our garbage. We cant seem to break her of that. She sometimes even knocks the cans over and they are all over. We try to keep a close eye on her but its hard as she is a puppy and running around all the time.

My dog is being neutered on Friday. I've heard some bad things about the pain medication that you can get for your dog after you bring them home. Does anyone know what kind of medication they give dogs and if there are any possibly negative side effects? Are there different kinds of pain mediations available? What works best? Whatever the cost, I'll pay it- I just don't want him to be hurting really bad or get sick..

How do you break a bad habit?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Its all my fault and I take the full blame. We have come a long way with Bella but there is just one thing that is going on that I have to stop but I don't know how. When I first let her sleep out of the crate at night she slept on her own very cozy bed in our room. Then she started to jump in bed during the night, we were too tired to push her off. But we don't want her in the bed, I don;t know why but I just think a dog should sleep in their own bed. So what do I do to change this--I can't start her back in the crate because I know she will whine ---should I leash her to the foot of the bed to keep her where I want her? I know it was just plain stupid of me to allow her in the bed in the first place, when she was smaller I thought it was cozy but now I just want to be cozy with my husband. Go ahead, throttle me, but then give me some advice please

I have a golden retrv that is 1 1/2 yrs, and I have had him since a pup. He chases his tail, and when he catches it, he pulls fur out and eats it. His fur is not matted, and he doesn't appear to be pulling anything else out of it. I knew another golden who did the same thing. Is it just the breed?

I have tried the static shock collars with not-so-great results. I am considering a citronella collar also, but I just need something that works. I have considered a surgical de-bark procedure, but that is expensive in addition to being semi-permanent and somewhat cruel. I want to hear about effective options about keeping my dogs quiet besides getting rid of them (it's coming to that if I can't keep them quiet).

I tell them "ENOUGH!" whenever they get started, but I have to get up 3-4 times a night and 5-6 times a day to tell them.

I probably need to find them a good home...I don't hardly have anything to do with them but feed them and tell them "ENOUGH!"

So, do muzzles actually work? If I take them to the shelter here, I may as well just shoot them myself. The shelter here is full of shepard mixes that won't find homes.

thanks for helping me think it out.

I have owned 3 Boxers and I really couldn't imagine owning any other dog. They have been in my family for generations and each one has had unique qualities but their lovely temperament always remains the same - barmy, mad but soooo loveable. I recently lost a 10 year old (way too early) to a brain tumour and it was absolutely devastating for all the family. I have a girl who is just over a year old and she is the first I have owned 'on my own' since I moved out of home. She is an absolute darling and I really couldn't ask for a better Boxer - apart from her occasional wantan vandalism!

I don't really have a question as such but wondered if there was anyone out there who feels the same as me about Boxers and also if there were any good forums to swap stories, pics and experiences about?

I have like a 7week old rottweiler,and it still has its tail,its about 1" in diameter.I want the tail to be off
now i kno you can put a rubber band around it so that it looses it's circulation and blood flow and sometimes doesn't hurt the dog at all.in some cases.My friend put a small hair tie around it about 1inch away from the body?and it was on there for about 5days, it bothered him as time went by.. then somebody told him there gonna get in trouble for cruelty or sum bs. and so he took it off. its been 2days wit out it on, the tail is still on, but u can tell that there has been a rubberband and that it was already losing blood flow.

Wouldyou rather have a rubber band around it to loose blood flow, so it will shrink and shrivel and fall off. rather then taking it in and the vet cuz the dogs tail off or watever they do. my dad has done the rubberband thing and it DEFINETLY doesnt hurt the dogs like as if the tail was clipped. it only bothers her when she lays on it certain way

I have a 2 1/2 yr old black lab that is full of energy all the time. I take her out everyday for at least one hour but I will occassionally walk her for up to two hours. My friends say that I am walking her too long and too often, could taking her out for so long end up hurting her?
